A CHARTER SCHOOL ws applying to build a large school in the middle of our neighborhood for 1,700 students, Kindergarten thru 12th Grade, plus 100+ staff Our Association and our neighbors are opposing this school Having 1,700 students on different time schedules will cause massive traffic for hours in the morning and afternoon driving through our quiet streets. It will destroy the tranquility of The Roads and diminish our quality of life' Some neighbors may have trouble getting out of their driveways in the morning or may find parents parked in their yards while dropping off or picking up thew children A good portion of these students will have their own cars. It is reasonable to believe that many of them will loiter in our neighborhood, litter our yards with their trash, and may cause mischief. Other concerns have been raised by neighbors. The owners of this project plan to go before our commissioners at City Hall very soon to get permission to place this school in our quiet neighborhood. They will bring a large group, some professionals, with them in hopes of convincing the Board to rule in their favor. This is a business to them and they are not concern with the turmoil they bring to our streets. PLEASE, help us oppose this school being in our neighborhood by filling out and signing the enclosed petition, and returning it to us as soon as possible no Hater than Sept. 30th. We plan to attend this meeting which is being re -scheduled posswbly for October, with all of your petitions to oppose this issue HOPE YOU WILL JOIN US! As soon as it is scheduled we will let our members know the date and time If you need us to pick up your petitions, call us at 305-285-0056 and leave your name and address or you can deliver or mail them to Lorraine Tucker, 218 S W 21 Road We must protect our neighborhood frorn this Invasion of our privacy and from the destruction of our quality of life.
